All equations should be centered and embedded in the text. Equations need to be numbered only if they
are referred to more than once. Stack numerators over denominators and leave one blank line between
equations and text, and between two equations. For example:

REFERENCING
All references should appear together at the end of the paper (see below). References are listed
alphabetically by last name of the first author. When two or more references by the same author are
listed, year of publication is taken into account, and the earliest work is listed first. Wherever reference is
made in the text to an author’s work, the author’s name and year of publication should appear in
parenthesis, for example, (Fisher and Struik, 1974). All listed references must be cited in the text.
